MGZT

Now I'm very particular about detailing the cost of running my cars, well the Hippo and ZT at least. Have very detailed running cost of them both since buying them, from a light bulb to new belts, including how much fuel they have used, cost per gallon and cost per fill up. Always brim - brim.

With regards to the ZT I have seen a marked improvement in fuel consumption. This time last year I was getting 27/gal on average, I'm now getting 36/gal on average. It's been getting better since August. I have not changed my driving style, my route into work nor my times. The car is dealer serviced by an MG garage to MGR specification (so they tell me) on a time basis as I don't do the miles.

So why is it doing more now than it was last year. Considerably more. 37% more!!!

MG Stands for its self and not Morris Garages. As CK said "...there was already one Morris Garages, how could there be two?"

I've recently replaced a dead Power VIS motor on Ed (a ZT 190) and the fuel consumption has gone up (down) from 28 mpg to 34 mpg, so on a V6, always make sure that both the VIS motors are working, as it makes a massive difference to both the performance and economy!
